Hon. John f. Wilson, of Dakota, promi-
nently ment'one in connection with the
territorial treaSurerShip under the new ad-
ADMINISTRATION, was at the Ryan yesterday. Mr.
Wilson is young attorney of Deadwood
and has figured very largely IN the affairs
of the Democratic party of Dakota. Two
years ago last fall he was the Democratic
nominee for delegate to congress from Da
koia. His manifest interest in the affairs
OF the party has led his name TO be NEIL
toned most favorably to President Cleve-
land, and latterly to Gov. Church. 1t WAS
generally understood at the territorial con-
veniion at Aberdeen last September that
i Mr.. Wilson could have had the domination
if he had wanted it. As it was. he was
made chairman OF the convention. In re-
spouse to a question by GLOBE reporter
he said:
lam not candidate for either the treas
urership or the authorship. l never made
an application for an Office. or told my friends
/ would accept one, but once. That was two
years aTo. soon after the election, when d
number OF my friends came to me- and / told
them would accept the governorship. The
next day / decided that 1 had made & mis-
take and withdrew my name. It would
scarcely be q sensible act on my part TO ac-
cept an Office from the governor. as by so
doing my law practice would be broken up.

pointed. In regard 10 other candidates for

that Gov. Church could not very
well appoint Mr.. Day to an office,
inasmuch as the latter had stated publicly
that he withdrew in Gov. Church's favor
Even il Mr.. Lay did do this, don't see why
Mr.'Church couldn't appoint him 10 an office.

the floor of the board of trade. with its
seething mass of traders and clerks, its
great telegraph booth. where more than
hundred men manipulate the tongues of the
wires which speak TO the world. and where
SO many fortunes are lost and won. Some
queer people break into this gallery--tall
Englishmen from "Lunnon" ultra stylish
women in striped gowns and under enor-
nous hats. and old rangers who quickly
tire of standing and seek rest by flinging
leg or Two over the railing. OF all the Wis
itors to the gallery the granger with the
weary legs makes the most fun. Within
two seconds after his cowhide boots crawl
over the rail. the occupants of the gallery
begin to look at each other in aStOniSh-
! ment. wondering if an earthquake shock
has frightened the crowd on the floor below
into sudden lunacy, or if some appalling
apparition haf floated down into the gallery
through the gilded fresco overhead; for
thousands of faces are at once upturned

other respond sold" and sees him nod and
make memorandum on his tab, he. too,
makes record Of the transaction with no
fear that the bargain will ever be repudia-
ted. Considering the large number of
transactions made each day in the pits and
the fractions and figures involved. it is sur
prising that mistakes and misunderStand-
ings occur as infrequently as they do In
times Of rapid breaks in the market the
wheat pit becomes a pandemoniuln. and
there may be cent or even cents differ
ence between the market at one edge of the
pit and the simultaneous prices at the other
edge. yet even amid these whrlwinds tn e
traders rarely misunderstood each other or
make mistakes in their records of transac-
tons.
Nowadays trades in the wheat pit are
mostly in small lots. A hundred thousand
bushels at plump attracts attention, and a
half million makes no end of gossip. There
is not as much high rolling as there was in
| the good old times in the chamber of com
merce. The biggest trade" ever made in
Chicago was 100000 bushels at one
| whack.

and then each seribbled on his tab. Thus a
trade of so, 600 bushels was made, and the
market had sagged from 1875 to rs even.
This trade was nosssooner completed than
the quotation clerk, who occupies the little
box at the edge Of the pit. had moved the
finger on the big dial. aud at the same in
slant the new price of October wheat went
coursng over hundreds of wires to make
itself known upon thousands of tickers in
all parts of the world.
AS for the polite broker and his fellow
! trader, the seller jotted down the transaction
upon his selling tab. OF the red side. while
the purchaser made note upon his bought

ported his trades to the clerks in his Office.
settling checks were made out and sent to
the clearing house, and the bookkeeper of
each firm was thus notified of the existence
of the contract. A wink of the eye or a nod
of the head makes a contract in the wheat
pit. and thousands of dollars may be in
volved. but all such contracts must stand,
and all losses arising therefrom must be
paid without murmur.
What to the observer in the gallery is
1.-The mystery of the wheat pit''-that is.
how business can be carried ON amid such

MY little son, aged eight years, has been
Ill afflicted with Eczema of the scalp, and at
times great portion of his body ever since
he was two years old. 1t began in his ears,
and extended to his scalp, which became
covered with scabs and sores, and from
which sticky fluid poured out, causing in
tense itching and distress. and leaving his
hair matted and lfeleSs. Underneath these
scabs the skin was raw, like piece of beef
steak. Gradually the hair came out and was
destroyed, until small patch was left at the
back of the head. My friends in Peabody
know how my little boy has suffered. Alright
was covered with blood. L used to tie his
hands behind him, and in many ways tried
to prevent his scratching; but it was

best physicians in Peabody without
success. About this time, some friends, who
has been cured by the CUTICURA REMEDIES,
prevailed upon me to try them. l began to
use then on the 18th of January last. In
seven months every particle of the disease
was removed. Not spot or scab remains

His hair mas returned, and is thick and

to express my gratitude for this wonderful
